Love at First Sight

Chapter 8

Toothless P.O.V

"What're you staring at baby?" The mother cooed, looking directly at me, but I could tell she couldn't see me,
"Babies are weird, Tatsuo, they'll stare at air for all they care" replied the father, looking down at the baby again,
"Don't be so horrible Fenrir" she snarled at him, cupping the cub closer to her chest and watching it snuggle against it, burying its face so it's covered completely, and the little thing fell asleep.
"So what're you naming it?" Fenrir asked her,
"...I'm gonna wait, I can see him becoming something huge one day" she purred down at it then started to groom his little head with her delicate tongue.

Then they disappeared, everybody did.

I was trapped in the black room again alone for a few minutes to explore around and looking for an exit, until I heard soft voices come from the corner again, there they were, curled up asleep together while the sun was rising from the mouth of the cave. It was so peaceful until there was loud yelling from outside, Void woke up first with a startling jump, I was crouched down watching from the edges, eyes slimmed in concentration, she got up and shook her mother and father, they both woke up and listened to her story, saying she heard yelling from outside. Together they got up and peered outside, then rushed back inside, they grabbed Taska and Epsilon and huddled them a corner next to me, Tatsuo stood in front of them protectively.

Four hunters emerged into the cave, holding spears and nets in their clenched fists, looking around and catching them in the corner. While grinning, they slowly made their way over to them, listening to Tatsuo snarling and roaring at them defensively. Fenrir leapt from the side and pinned two down by the neck, holding them down.
Then he was shot in the neck with a dart, and collapsed onto his side besides them.
"Stay behind me" Tatsuo hissed to the three elder cubs behind her, "when I tell you to run you run, you need to look after each other, for me and your dad" she whispered to them, looking at the hunter outside holding the dart gun, Tatsuo ran out and rammed him in the chest, looking back and screaming for them to make a run for it, Epsilon and Void sprinted out, Taska leant down to pick the little cub out from the leaves he was resting in, but before she could grab his scruff she was dragged out by Void.
"Wait we forgot him!" She screamed, trying to pull back but she was dragged on and on through the forest. Tatsuo watched them go with a sad smile,
"Make a life of your own my babies" she whispered.

Then she was stabbed in the chest with a spear, and so was Fenrir.

"MOM!" I screamed, running out to her but they all faded away from my vision.

They weren't there anymore.
